Fast Signs Gloucester installs HP DesignJet L25500

Fast Signs Gloucester has invested in an HP DesignJet L25500 wide-format printer in a bid to boost its green credentials and cut turnaround times at the family-run business.

The Gloucestershire company opted for the latex machine after a recommendation by London-based reseller Perfect Colours.

David Riddle, owner of Fast Signs Gloucester said the L25500 machine gives the company "outstanding quality" while enabling it to deliver faster turnaround times.

Fast Signs, which designs, prints and installs signage, vehicle wraps, exhibition displays, outdoor banners, site and traffic signs, is producing both interior and exterior applications.

According to Riddle, the ability to offer a range products printed on recyclable media was "a huge advantage" as many of its clients are environmentally-focused.  

"The new printer creates odourless output and requires no ventilation," he added.

Fast Signs, which can now print on a range of low-cost uncoated media, said Perfect Colours was instrumental in the smooth installation of the new machine.

"The help and advice we received from Perfect Colours throughout the installation was invaluable.

They understood the needs of our business and had the expertise to seamlessly integrate a new solution without disrupting our workflow," he added.
